Our Take

Ah, the Best Of Country Blues. A compilation album that kicks off with all the gusto of a line dance, showcasing some of the finest gems from the world of roots music. The twang of the guitar, the ache in the vocals - it's all here in abundance.

Each track on this album is like a little slice of Americana pie, served up with a side of raw emotion and gritty storytelling. From the heart-rending ballads to the foot-stomping barnburners, there's something for every fan of the genre.

But what truly sets this compilation apart is the eclectic mix of artists. From classic stalwarts like Muddy Waters and Lead Belly to modern troubadours like Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal, the Best Of Country Blues covers all bases. It's a musical journey through the history of the genre, with each track acting as a milestone along the way.

While some may argue that compilation albums lack the cohesiveness of a single artist's work, the Best Of Country Blues makes a strong case for the format. It's a vibrant tapestry of sound that pays homage to the rich tapestry of the genre itself.

So, whether you're a die-hard blues fan or just looking to dip your toes into the world of country music, this album is a must-listen. Take a trip down South with the Best Of Country Blues and let the music wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.
